The importance ot this Expedition, and the in terest which it must excite in every part of the Globe, render us happy in the opportunity of presenting to our Readers the following authentic Letters : Extract of a Letter frain an Officer employed on the Arctic Expedition. " LERWICK, APRIL 30,-181R. " On our arrival here this afternoon, we find the Ister is to sail very early in the morning, and will take a mail. I have been busy all the after noon in assisting in setting up the clock and Transit on shore, in readiness for obtaining our fir St observation to-morrow for the rate of the pendulum, and I have now but little time left to address a few hasty lines to you. " After we once got out of the Swin, which we were prevented ooing for some time by strong easterly winds, we had Fr quick and pleasant pas sage here. The - ships sail tolerably well ; but, what is of more consequence to ris, they beOve well in a sea, notwithstanding they are so deep : they roll deep, but both without straining► or jerking. The Alexander makes 16 inches of we- . ter in 2-1 boors, which is, as I was. informed by the of the llock-yard at Deptford, and others, almost a necessary consequence of do►►- hling ships : but she makes no more in bad wea ther, than in fine, and will probably improve . daily. We have, of course, not yet made any observations worth sending you. Our chrono meters go tolerably well—EAß NSH A W's have the decided preference, however, both with SABINE and myself. The last pocket watches supplied (mine is ARNOLD'S) have no rate at all ; but we hope, during our stay here, to be able to obtain one. We are both► extremely well manned ; and it would not be easy to mention a thing wllich we are in want of." Extract of another Letter. " His Majesty's ship Isabella, May 1, I /11 $. " LERWICK --Arrivekl yesterday.—Wind S.W. " I have the pleasure to acquaint you we had an excellent plssAge from Cromer, where my last was dated from, to Lerwick, and find our chrono metets going to admiration :—the wind being against tis, we have set up the clock, and if it continnes we shall have some observations on the pendulum to-morrow. The dipping needles are also on shore; but we have got our fiddler, and a n o ther live bullock, and, if the wind will let us ont, we shall be off men ily. We have been lucky enough to catch the Ister before site set off for Shithead. FORREST filled us up with bread and water, and we had no occasion to let a man go on shore. Ido not think they would have run, but it is as well not to trust them. lhe Dorothea has not arrived vet. " P. S. The Dorothea is just coming iH, and the %vimd is shifting to the Easteard. We sail at day-light:' Bahama Gazettes to the later end of March hare been tecri'ved, but they contain no news of im portance. The General Assembly had been pro rogued, by a Proclamation of his Excellency the G , .vernot, from the 3(1 of March to the 14th of April. The Royal Gazette of the 10th of March gives a long arcount, of the piratical seizure of the British sloop Favourite, while lying at anchor in the port of Surma, on the coast of Cuba, by a hmat commanded by a white man (an American), and nine others. They sent the Captain and crew of the Favourite on shore, and took away the sloop with all her cargo. The number of Inde pendent cinizers was still increasing. By a Pro clamation, dated the 10th of February, the im portation of all kinds of merchandise and grain was to be permitted in British-built ships, owned by British subjects, into the Bahama islands, until the 21st (lay of August next, unless sooner pro hibited by an order from his Majesty by and with the advice of his Privy Council. Yesterday, soon after one o'clock, her MA JESTY, accompanied by the Duchess of GLOUCES TER and the Princess of HESSE HOMBOURG, rode out over Westminster Bridge to Clapham, &c. and returned over Battersea Bridge, and arrived at the. Queen's Palace at half-past two. Yesterday morning the Duchess of GLOUCESTER visited the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house, as did the Dukes of YoaK and CLAREtacm. Yesterday, soon after three o'clock, the 'Prince of HEssE Hom Emilio arrived at the Queen's Palace, atter a somewhat hasty visit to Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, Lymington, Southampton, 'Win chester, Salisbury, Bath, Bristol, Clifton, &c. His Serene Highness only left the Queen's Pa lace on Friday morning. Yesterday morning the Royal Sovereign yacht sailed from Deptford to proceed to Calais, to be in readiness to receive the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE. POETRY.

My friends have told. me that a Pamphleteer May be forgot—pipe-matches oft are scarce— My songs 4inst in a Volume bright appear, Bound neatly, to-protect each clinking verse.

Waterloo Steam-boat, on the Clyde. ROYAL ACA DEM Y. (Continued.) 160. Portrait of an Artist. .J. JAcxsoN, R. A. This is a portrait of the Artist by himself; It is well stu died, and executed with freedom of pencil. The colouring, however, is nut sufficiently natural, and if the eyes were closed the complexion would appear cadaverous. But the work d;splays mind and talents that' fully justify the early patronage of the Academy. • 32. Portrait of .eirchibald TriNam Lord Moatgont'ery. 11. RAEBUILN, R.A. On looking over the Catalogue-again, we find that we by mistake gave the number and designation of this portrait to Number 268, the portrait of the Right Hon. A. Maccunochie, Lord Advocate of Scotland, by the same Artist. We have since looked again at that portrait, and are confirmed in our opinion that it would do honour. lo any Artist. lumber 32 is the Portrait of a spirited Infant, on a rugged horse, or 'Dole. The infantile - character is well expressed, and marked by careless ease and . animation. The back-ground forms a pleasing landscape, and the whole displays harmony of co louring; and the hand of a master. 166. Dort, or Dordrecht: the Dort Packet . Boat from Rotterdam becalmed. J. M. \V. TURNER, R. A. The striking brilliancy, and yet undiminished repose of this picture, are in a high degree gratifying to the eye and to the mind, 197. Portraits of an Artist and his Patron. S. DRUMMOND, A. A well painted picture by an Artist whose talents are so Tersatilo that his general merit is the more extraordinary. ('l'o be continued.) THE HEATRE. The whimsical farce, called by courtesy a co medy, of the Dramatist, was represented at Drury lane last night. Mr. ELLISTON was the Vapid, and he may be considered as the most successful representative of it that has appeared since that excellent actor the late Mr. LEWIS, who was the otiginal performer of the character. There was an 'admirable mixture of gravity and extravagance in Mr. ELLISToN's performance, and this %%as evi dently the opinion of a numerous audience, whose laughter he powerfully excited throughout. A strong smell of fire, with an appearance of falling sparks, alarmed the audience during the second act, and a general preparation for escaping in safety immediately took place, and might have been productive of dreddlul effec , s, arising from a universal struggle, if Mr. ELLISTON had not very soon appeared, and with emphatic earnestness delivered the Following 'surds, which effectually removed all alarm, and the ')lay proceeded with no interruption but from the merriment which it excited : " LADIEs AND GENTLEMEN,-4, and all Performers who know their duty, think that au Audience never ought to be deceived. A piece of canvas certainly had ignited, but it is entirely extinguished, and there is now not the slightest cause for alarm." FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. Lord Gsquir, from Bath; the Hon. Captain P. B.

BRIGHTON, MAI' Fite race-down to-dAy was rendered in no ordinary degree attractive by the officers of the 13th Hussars. These Gentle men, some weeks since, had matched their horses so as to afford one day's excellent diversion, the 1 Itit of May being the period otiginally fixed upon. The weather this morning being desirably bright and inviting to field-sports, every species of open carriage was presently in requisition, and before mid-day the assemblage of all ranks and descriptions of people on the hill, in carriages, On horseback, and on foot, presented a picture equal ly animated, sociable, and diversified. The band of the 18th was stationed near the stand, and a party of unarmed hussars were appointed to keep the course clear. The sports commenced soots after one o'clock, with— A Handicap Sweepstakes of sgs, .(2gs forfeit), with Srtgs added from the Mess Fund, to be run for by horses, the property of Officers of the 13th Light Dragoons.

Another match of a mile, in which Firebrand beat Reefer, after a well contested struggle, closed the diversions of the day. The company began generally to retire about half-past tour o'clock. . The Officers displayed considerable skill as Junkies, and no accident interfered with the plea sures of the day.

The fashionable villages adjacent to Leeds, It seems, are about to have a regular daily stage, at stated hours, quite on the London plan. It is said also to be in contemplation to estal)lish a stand of hackney coaches in that town.

A Floating Chapel for merchant seamen was opened (or rather moored) in Bristol harbour 6n. Sunday last.
